Cross Country

When
the home of Alex Cross's longtime friend, Ellie Cox, is turned into the worst
murder scene Alex has ever seen, he is devastated. The destruction leads him to
believe that he's chasing a horrible new breed of killer. As Alex and his
girlfriend Brianna Stone begin the hunt for the villain responsible for the
killings, they quickly find themselves entangeled in the deadly Nigerian
underworld of Washington D.C.. What they discover is shocking: a strongly
organized gang of teenage thugs headed by a powerful, diabolical man-The Tiger. As
the killing spree escalates, Alex and Brianna realize they are not dealing with
any ordinary killer, but one who has brought his personal war of vengeance to
America's capital. But just when the detectives think they're closing in on the
elusive murderer, the Tiger disappears into thin air. Unable to let the killer
get away with this narrow escape, Alex makes it his duty to bring the brutal butcher
to justice. He knows that he must follow The Tiger. Alone. When
Alex arrives in Nigeria, he discovers a world where justice is as foreign as he
is. Unprotected and alone in a strange country, bombarded on all sides by the
murderous threats of The Tiger, Alex must draw on his fiercest instincts just
to survive in a lawless world. From the author Time
magazine has called "the man who can't miss," Cross Country is the most breathtaking, heart-stopping, electrifing
Alex Cross thriller yet.
